Cretan Iama is a natural healing preparation, based on traditional Cretan herbs and virgin olive oil, which naturally helps to strengthen the body's defenses.
It is the result of many years of research by distinguished researchers of the University of Crete who transformed indigenous knowledge into essential knowledge, in collaboration with Olvos Science, a subsidiary of the Greek pharmaceutical company Galenica.
The research revealed the combination of essential oils from 3 aromatic herbs:
Coridοthymus Capitatus
Salvia Fruticosa and
Origanum Dictamnus
in specific proportions, along with extra virgin olive oil that works synergistically.
As part of the studies of the Laboratory of Clinical Virology of the University of Crete, a laboratory test of the herbal extract from Crete was performed.
The results showed for the first time the effectiveness of the extract against viral infections, reducing viral load and viral cytological lesions. The antiviral activity of the extract is confirmed both in experimental models and in clinical trials.
ACTIVE INGREDIENTS
Dittany (also known in Crete as "erontas"), thyme, and sage, together with the virgin olive oil of Crete join forces and create the Cretan Iama - Cretan Ίama.
Dictamnus (Origanum dictamnus)
Dittany, or erontas, is an endemic herb of Crete. The healing properties of the dittany have long been known, as well as the fact that the Cretan ibex ate dittany to heal their wounds when taken by hunters' arrows.
A total of about 220 works by ancient Greek authors have been counted with more than 500 references to the therapeutic use of dittany.
SAGE (Salvia fruticosa)
The name Salvia comes from the Latin salvare which means save lives. It was considered a sacred herb by the Greeks who dedicated it to Zeus. Our ancestors used it as a multidrug and it is mentioned by Dioscorides, Aetius, Hippocrates, and Galen, who especially praised it.
THYME (Coridothymus capitatus)
Thyme has been known since antiquity. It was used by all the first cultures of the Mediterranean as a medicinal plant. Hippocrates and Dioscorides describe its uses in their writings. Before modern antibiotics, thyme was widely used to soak gauze and bandages.
